Today is a wondrous day where all the jokesters of the world get to act as jovial as they please without need to take responsibility, unless they commit a crime.
Perhaps the worst statement I've ever made on the blog....don't listen to my advice.
Aaaaanyway....
Pranks are something I hold dear to my heart - especially when I was the pranker or got to witness one.
I remember one prank I pulled when I was a kid. I reckon the only reason I still remember it is because my victim has mentioned it many times over the years.
I offered to get a glass of milk for my younger brother. Unbeknownst to him, the milk was accompanied by a large amount of mayonnaise which I mixed into his drink. When he took a sip........I GOT 'EM!
Man, those were good times.
Being the pranker is usually more fun than the victim. I've been the target of many a chair pulled away over the years. Right before you hit the ground you wonder what went wrong in your life. It's a little bit humbling.
A quick google search of 'best pranks in mlb history' revealed a great article from MLB on some of the league's best prankers.
One that especially caught my attention occurred in 2008, when the Phillies convinced pitcher Kyle Kendrick that he was traded to a team in Japan. Even Kendrick's agent was in on it!
That may be not only the greatest prank in MLB history, but perhaps the greatest prank I've ever heard of.
